Early on August Bank Holiday Monday the redoubtable Kenny and team started a day-long washing marathon and the cars of Hambleden now gleam more brightly than any in neighbouring villages.

There were stalls of produce, local Pheasants Ridge wine, and Charles Gray was selling his book 'On Chiltern Slopes' about the village as he remembered it.

Then, in the afternoon, tea and cakes were served (all made by men (honestly)),

while the local population of teddy bears were taken up in a basket and thrown from the church tower,
with only a parachute to save them, despite the wind and the danger of nearby trees.
The winner was the one which landed nearest the black cross and duly received a prize.

This day was organised by verger, Alan, to raise funds for the repair of St Mary's Church.
